    1. Was listening to Lord of chaos from wheel of time (got burnt out and took a break), then went to gautlgrym by RA Salvatore, now on Eldest by Christopher Paolini.

    2. Have a bunch of credits on Audible, but need to remember to cancel my subscription.

    If you like fantasy and want to listen to something fun, check out the Bobiverse series, or Dresden files (narrated by James Marsters, spike from Buffy, he’s the most animated narrator I’ve listened to).

    It’s German - but I believe there is a (inferior) english Translation

    Quality Land by Marc Uwe Kling

    Awesome, funny, thought-provoking, frightening distopia

    Finishing up The Martian by Andy Weir so I can move on to Project Hail Mary. I love the geeky style of his writing as my interests also lie on the technical side. This is actually my first audiobook so I can’t really say how good the narration is, but it is keeping me engaged.

    I just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It’s an awesome near future sci fi about an astronaut with amnesia trying to save Earth from impending doom.

    I love how technical Weir gets. He really makes me excited about math and science because he shows the practical application of it all. And I especially love the element of discovery that is prominent throughout, but especially in the beginning of the book. It just keeps getting better and better as the main character continues making discoveries about himself and his environment.

    The narrator, Ray Porter, did a fine job. He isn’t my favorite narrator, but he certainly didn’t get in the way, which is enough for me.

    Finally, I purchased and listened to the book on Audible.
